      Liverpool are also believed to be prominent in the race to sign Bellingham, as well as Manchester City.
      But Los Blancos have now cooled their interest in the Borussia Dortmund midfielder, according to AS.
      The report claims that the stop in interest is because of the delay to Dortmund’s meeting to establish what Bellingham’s future would be.
      The 19-year-old has a contract at the Signal Iduna Park running until 2025 and the Bundesliga side value him at over £100million.

      It has been suggested that Madrid would be willing to wait until the summer of 2024 to sign him when he could cost less money, as he would only have a year left on his contract.
      However, it looks increasingly unlikely that the England man will still be in Germany by then.
      And Bellingham’s Premier League suitors will try to wrap up a deal to sign him this summer.
      Dortmund director Sebastian Kehl, however, insists that the former Birmingham prospect is “comfortable” at the club.

      He said: “Jude feels very, very comfortable at Borussia Dortmund.

      “But we still haven’t had any new talks or received any offers for him.
      “He still has two more years on his contract and is a very important piece of this team.
      “We need Jude to achieve the objectives this season and we are glad that he is so focused on football and that there is no room for other matters in his head at the moment.”
      This season, Bellingham has scored ten goals in 30 appearances in all competitions. More

      Trossard has also been more effective than Liverpool’s Cody GakpoCredit: Getty
      The stats show that Trossard has been the best of the three
      So far the £27million signing has had a decent impact for the Gunners, scoring once and assisting two more in his first seven Premier League appearances.
      Whereas Chelsea’s £88m ace Mudryk has failed to produce a goal involvement in his five appearances.
      Trossard has even done better than Liverpool and World Cup star Cody Gakpo.
      The former PSV man made the move to the Premier League in January after Jurgen Klopp’s side poached him from under the noses of Man United in a £37m transfer.

      The Dutchman has only scored twice for the Reds and is yet to produce an assist, despite playing 203 minutes more than Trossard’s 291 minutes in a Gunners shirt.
      The Belgian international has also statistically outperformed the other two in terms of touches, dribbles completed and passing accuracy, Opta stats show.
      Trossard is also creating goalscoring chances far more regularly than his rivals, as he creates 1.5 chances per 90 minutes compared to Gakpo’s 0.9 and Mudryk’s shocking 0.
      And fans have now been calling Trossard the best signing of the winter window.

      One tweeted: “Trossard might be pound for pound signing of the season.
      “Relatively cheap, prem proven, can cover two positions and has hit the ground running.”
      A second wrote: “Trossard is the January signing of the season.”
      A third wrote: “The advantage of signing Trossard and Jorginho is that they arrived as ready-made, plug-and-play Premier League players.
      “We might have actually won the January 2023 transfer window.”
      A fourth said: “Trossard signing feels like when we signed Arshavin.
      “Experienced forward in January, two-footed, both have some similarities in the way they shift one side to shoot and their footwork in tight spaces.
      “Heck Arshavin even played up front a few times for us between 2009 and 2010.”

      The striker had attempted rape charges against him dropped earlier this month, but United is carrying out its own investigation.
      Greenwood will remain suspended until the end of the 2022/23 Premier League season, according to reports.
      All charges against the footballer, including attempted rape, actual bodily harm and coercive or controlling behaviour, were withdrawn by the Crown Prosecution Service earlier last month.
      It came after 12 witnesses, including the woman at the centre of the allegations, refused to co-operate.
      And now it’s been reported that Turkish clubs and clubs with open transfer windows have been enquiring about loan deals for the striker, according to the Telegraph.
      Countries that currently have open transfer windows include the MLS in the United States, Japan and South Korea.
      However, according to reports, at present, Man United has not pursued a deal.

      This is said to involve interviews to get his version of events and checks on his physical and mental health.
      Manager Erik Ten Hag hopes this process will be complete before the summer but it cannot be confirmed, it is understood.
      Prior to his arrest, Greenwood was valued at around £50million and regarded as one of European football’s hottest young talents.
      But United’s women’s players reportedly don’t want him to return to the club.
      According to reports in The Athletic, “the feeling is strong” amongst the team that he should be let go – and is shared by some in the men’s dressing room.
      Fans are also said to be uncertain about his return.
      Greenwood, who was dropped from a multi-million pound boot deal by Nike following his arrest, has made 129 appearances for United, scoring 35 goals and winning one England cap. More
